Chapter 256 Cultivation
"Haha, just do your best."

Su Qian smiled and did not take Xiao Yan's words too seriously. Without the Fallen Heart Flame in the Inner Courtyard, even if Xiao Yan frequently replenished his heart fire, the "Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower" which was known as a cultivation accelerator would not be as effective as before. This was actually a huge loss for the Inner Courtyard, but he also knew the importance of the strange fire to Xiao Yan. What's more, Xiao Yan was not alone, behind him were Xiao Yuan and Yao Zun, one was the dean's successor, and the other was the continent's top alchemist, so naturally he would not say anything to ask for it.

Xiao Yan actually had some feelings about Su Qian's mentality. To be honest, he always felt a little guilty towards the inner courtyard and Su Qian. After all, he came to Canaan Academy for the Fallen Heart Flame.

Now the goal has been achieved, but it has brought considerable losses to the Inner Courtyard. Therefore, Xiao Yan has been thinking about how to completely help the Inner Courtyard solve this problem. Although the so-called "Fire Gathering Pot" seems to have a considerable effect, Xiao Yan, as the owner of the Fallen Heart Flame, knows best that the remaining heart flames are always split, which is far inferior to the effect of the real Fallen Heart Flame here.

The heavy iron door was slowly pushed open, and with the sound of the door hinge turning, a hot breath suddenly rushed out as if it had been sealed for countless years.
Su Qian waved his hand in front of him and said with a wry smile, "The energy here is so hot. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be in the magma world. Are you two sure you want to practice there?"

Xiao Yan spread his hands and took a deep breath of the fiery energy. A satisfied look appeared on his face. He smiled and said, "This kind of fiery energy is exactly what I need the most. My third brother and I have strange fire to protect our bodies. We are not afraid of ordinary flames. Don't worry, Great Elder."

“What two little monsters.”

Hearing this, Su Qian shook his head, muttered something, and then slowly walked into the last floor of the extremely spacious Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

Xiao Yuan and the other two followed him in. There was no light in the space at the bottom of the tower, and it was filled with a faint red color. The light came from a deep hole about ten feet in the central area. The red light extended from it like a beam of light, driving away all the darkness here.

The two walked straight towards the deep hole in the center, and as they got closer, the air around them became hotter and hotter, and the fire energy contained in it became more and more pure and violent.

When the two stopped at the entrance of the deep cave, the oncoming hot energy almost made Su Qian feel a slight burning pain. He himself did not practice fire-attributed exercises, so this kind of rich single energy was not a pleasure for him.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and immediately a stream of hot energy flowed into his nose and finally flowed into his body, making Xiao Yan's body quickly become hotter. It was not known whether it was Xiao Yan's illusion, but the Fallen Heart Flame in his body seemed to be much more active than usual at this moment.

He stuck his head out and looked into the deep cave. What he saw was a sea of ​​red. A hot breath was spewing out of it, just like a crater. The cave entrance was quite a distance away from the magma world, but even though it was so far away, the hot breath was still as strong as ever.

Looking at the deep cave, Xiao Yan's throat rolled slightly, and an unconcealable joy burst out from his dark eyes. For him, this place is definitely a treasure land for cultivation. If he cultivates here for a period of time, his strength will definitely improve significantly.

"Since you are confident that you can practice here, I will not stop you. Xiao Yuan, you two should take care of each other. Although I have not been down there many times, I have vaguely felt something strange. This magma world is not as peaceful as you imagine. You must do what you can. You must know that too much is as bad as too little!"

Looking at Xiao Yan's delighted expression, Su Qian warned Xiao Yuan a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, Great Elder. We know what we are doing."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, I will send a few elders who practice fire-attributed techniques down later. If anything happens, they will be the first to know."

Su Qian nodded when he heard this, looked at the two most talented young men in the inner courtyard, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, great elder."

Upon hearing this, the two of them smiled and bowed. Their warm smiles looked exactly the same.

Su Qian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Why are you being so polite to me? You guys go in first and try. I'll stay here for a while. If anything unexpected happens, give me a signal and I'll go down and rescue you."

"If the Great Elder has something to do, please go first. I'm here, so there won't be any problems."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan also exuded his Dou Zong aura at the right time.

???

Su Qian's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Xiao Yuan with a look of disbelief.

"You are a Dou Zong???"

"I just advanced last night. I was lucky and had some opportunities."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded.

"lucky"

Su Qian almost vomited blood when he heard this. He didn't know how long it took him to be promoted to Dou Zong, but this kid just said he was lucky and it was done?
After being depressed for a long time, Su Qian finally said in a muffled voice: "I am old and useless. Young people can no longer use an old man like me. Alas!"

Hearing the great elder's sour words, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Great Elder, what are you talking about? You are my elder, and I am just worried that you will get tired. My strength has improved now, and with the help of the strange fire, even if I encounter anything in this magma world, I am sure I will be safe. You can rest assured, right?"

Xiao Yuan continued with a smile.

"Ah, you two little guys are really more evil than each other. Go, I'm tired, sit down and rest for a while before you go on."

Su Qian shook his head helplessly when he heard this, but there was a gleam of relief in his eyes.

However, he did not leave, because he knew that these two little guys were not easy to deal with. What's more, he had sensed before that there were things in the magma world that even made him feel uneasy, so he was still a little worried.

If such a creature really exists, I must rescue these two children even if it costs my life!
"Okay, take a break. This is the Ice Soul Pill. After the Great Elder takes it, it will greatly increase your fire resistance within six hours. After that, it will also permanently increase your resistance to fire energy. Although it's not much, you won't feel so uncomfortable when you go down to the bottom of the tower in the future."

Xiao Yuan smiled, then handed Su Qian a jade bottle, and without waiting for Su Qian to say anything, he jumped directly into the deep cave.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan followed closely behind.

"what?"

At the moment Xiao Yan jumped into the deep cave, a cry of surprise suddenly came out of his mouth, because at the moment he entered, he seemed to faintly feel that there was an inexplicable calling from far below, but it was not that strong.

"what happened?"

Xiao Yuan asked when he saw this. "Just now I suddenly felt like I was summoned. It's very strange. Maybe I was wrong."

Xiao Yan responded without much concern after hearing this.

"Oh, can you still feel it now?"

Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and he asked.

"No, I just felt it for a split second."

Xiao Yan shook his head.

"Ah."

Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this, and immediately his mind moved, and six different colors appeared on his palm.

Six strands of air of different colors were swaying slightly at this moment. Three of them were very dark in color, as if they were real, while the other three were lighter in color, giving a slightly illusory feeling.

These are the six qi that Xiao Yuan practiced.

Although only three of them were cultivated and could be used at will, they were enough to be used to find people.

After all, these six energies are derived from the human body. Therefore, Xiao Yuan can use this thing to sense the location of the Skyfire Master.

Not only that, the Shaoyin Junhuo Qi in it is also related to the Fallen Heart Flame. In addition, all three kinds of Qi have transformed into the form of strange fire. In this way, it is not impossible to lock the position of the Skyfire Venerable.

The scorching wind whistled past their ears as the two of them continued to slide down the cave entrance. As they got closer to the underground magma world, the air around them became hotter and hotter.

A faint azure flame seeped out from Xiao Yan's body, isolating him from the high temperature from the outside world. Looking at the pure red color below, he took a deep breath and felt cautious. Even Great Elder Su Qian said that this place was not simple, so he naturally couldn't be complacent just because his third brother was by his side.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Xiao Yuan, but he doesn’t want Xiao Yuan to be distracted because of his negligence.

I don’t know what Third Brother is doing, but the six colorful auras in his hands give Xiao Yan a very friendly and comfortable feeling, as if Third Brother himself is there.

Moreover, Xiao Yan also smelled the scent of strange fire from it.

After a moment, their vision suddenly became wider, and what appeared in front of them was a magma world with no end in sight. Huge bubbles gushed out from the magma and finally burst. A hot breath accompanied by white smoke spread out from it. This smoke contained a fire poison, which could cause considerable trouble if inhaled into the body.

Xiao Yan's mind moved, and his jade-like bone wings slowly extended from his back, gently fluttering, stabilizing his body in the air above this magma world.

Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, was walking on the empty air as if it were flat ground.

This magma world is dead silent, without any breath of life, only the faint sound of magma bubbles bursting can be heard. Here, the magma is quite viscous, and it is difficult to stir up any magma waves. Everything gives people a depressing feeling of death. If you live here for a long time, I am afraid that even your personality will become extremely weird and withdrawn.

Fortunately, my third brother came down with us this time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a little fortunate. No matter what, he could always feel more at ease knowing that his third brother was around.

After a brief inspection and finding nothing wrong, he vibrated his bone wings to a red mountain wall, drew out the Xuanzhong Ruler, and a turquoise flame swirled up. Under the blazing heat of the turquoise lotus heart fire, the hard mountain wall was pierced like tofu. Xiao Yan's wrist shook rapidly, and as gravel flew, a hole about ten feet wide quickly appeared on the hard mountain wall.
Relying on the high temperature of the Azure Lotus Heart Fire, Xiao Yan easily created a small cave on the mountain wall for rest. After doing this, he did not immediately fall into the magma to practice "Six Harmonies Wandering Body Ruler", but turned his gaze to Xiao Yuan.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan seemed to be searching for something with a device that could point the way. Xiao Yan couldn't understand, but he felt that his third brother must be doing something big.

After waiting for a long time and seeing his third brother still not stopping, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and decided to practice for a while.

As Xiao Yan entered the state of cultivation, the space around him suddenly began to fluctuate violently. Red energy visible to the naked eye surged out like an overwhelming force, and finally rushed into Xiao Yan's body!

The moment these red energies poured into his body, Xiao Yan's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of ecstasy and solemnity flashed in his eyes. The abundant energy here was indeed beyond his expectations, but the violent energy in it was also beyond his expectations. If too much of this violent energy was inhaled, it might secretly have a bad influence on one's temperament, and this kind of influence was unacceptable to Xiao Yan, even though it would allow him to achieve a cultivation speed far beyond his usual speed.

"Fortunately, we were prepared."

After a brief hesitation, Xiao Yan smiled, waved his hand, and a ball of azure flame rose up, finally covering his entire palm.

Flames appeared, and Xiao Yan flicked his fingers with his other hand, and several items appeared in front of him. Finally, under his control, they were suspended in the air. These items were all medicinal herbs, and they exuded a bit of coldness. At first glance, you could tell that they were the kind of herbs that contained ice or water energy.

Xiao Yan glanced at it casually, then waved his hand, and several kinds of cold medicinal herbs fell into it. Now he is a genuine sixth-grade alchemist, and when refining ordinary pills, he has reached the level of making the palm of his hand into a furnace and doing it at will.

While Xiao Yan was refining medicine to assist in his cultivation, Xiao Yuan's eyes suddenly fixed over there.

He sensed a slightly weak life reaction, which appeared and disappeared from time to time, but the strength was still good. It seemed that it could last another two or three years.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Lord of Skyfire.

However, Xiao Yuan did not intend to go down and fish out this former Dou Zun powerful man immediately.

He needs to get familiar with his own strength.

Due to the awakening of his bloodline, Xiao Yuan's physical strength and fighting spirit have made significant breakthroughs. This is certainly a good thing, but Xiao Yuan is always accustomed to having the most precise control over his own strength. At the moment, he is indeed unable to have perfect control over his own strength, which requires some time to adjust.

In addition, Xiao Yuan obtained some methods of fire control from Fang Yan, the great elder of the Demon Flame Valley. He planned to study and refer to them and integrate them into his own fire control concepts.

In addition, he also needs to integrate the fighting skills he has learned so far, which may be able to play a miraculous role in future battles.
